Good score, Brandon! I didn't make a 12" list for purely selfish reasons: I don't collect them anymore, and hence I don't know what's out or what's coming out! Someone who does know that stuff (hint *BRANDON* hint) could create a similar thread for that stuff if they felt like....but the updates are certainly welcome here. NB seems to be ahead of the curve, eh? Either that or your store has a really aggressive toy manager. You're a lucky scamp either way!

PS and aside: What is up with NB? I lived with a guy from Moncton in University - he's an orthodontist now. All my cop friends from there (we get them from every province out here) are really on the ball guys. Now the front running Star Wars toy stalker on this site hails from there as well???? Hoo wah. Mad props to the Maritimes.

Count Dooku - I don't know what it is about Brandon, he's usually first to spot new stuff in Canada from my experience. East coast big centres have close proximity to Rhode Island (I believe Hasbro's US base) and to Quebec (Canada's Hasbro base) - might have something to do with it.

Originally posted by Count Dooku Has anyone besides "Brandon" seen Palpy or Djas, cause I sure haven't nor anyone else at any other forums.

Just be patient and they will arrive, I don't know why I spot new stuff all the time, maybe it's because I'm at it every day or the wife tells me when she returns from the mall. Zellers in Saint John, N.B. has new stuff arriving each day in the toy dept, like the new Jango/Obi Electronic figures that I spotted today. They looked really cool and Jango's Jet pack lights up on the bottom along with Obi's light saber as well. The only problem I find with them is that Jango is all hard plastic with the exception of his head, (soft plastic), didnít like the phrases, plus a price tag of $49.99, so I hid one of the Six (Jango) available for later. I'm still looking for the Gunship and other figures like everyone else. I get really excited when I find new things and really P.O.íd when I donít, I live in a small town and sometimes it's good (distribution) and sometimes it's really bad, for now I'll stick with the good. I can tell you this, the zellers I purchased Djas from had nothing and I mean nothing in terms of new figures when ATOC first came out and this continued for weeks until they got the Jango final battle wave ahead of others (WM etc). So this leads me to believe that they will be receiving newer figures at a faster rate than say Wal-Mart or TOYSRUS as they are still warming the pegs there.

P.S. If I find an extra Palpy or Djas, I'll set them a side along with the Jango and maybe we'll do a trade or something.

(jjreason) For the most part people from New Brunswick are good down to earth people with strong family ties. Maybe it's just being from a small town that gives me the drive to be the best I can be at what ever I'm doing i.e. being a father, collector, work etc. I hear that you are from Ont., what part? The reason I'm asking is that I lived there for six years while I was in college.

THANKS FOR THE AT-TE & FALCON HASBRO. NOW IT'S TIME FOR A LARGE TANTIVE IV!

Gunship

Sorry for back to back posts.

The Republic Gunship has shown up on the list of S.W. items being sent to zellers select in Saint John, N.B. I spotted the list while talking to a guy form the stock area, he gave me a copy so I could post it here for all to see. It's the floor plan for Star Wars and Transformers; I condensed and had to cut part of it away in order to post it. This is the confirmation that I've been waiting for, so here goes.

Update, I have found the Gunship at TOYSRUS in Saint John, N.B. this morning while out shopping with the little fellow, it came four to a case and only one case was there so far. There will be more, I was told. Also on a smaller note, the Action Fleet vehicles were there as well, I spotted the Falcon and the X-wing just at a glance. I wasn't too interested in them because I was way too busy checking out the Gunship and having it set aside to buy later this week. The action figures at TOYRUS are pretty slim and they will have nothing in terms of newer ones until they sell the boxes of left overs that are still out back. If anyone is looking for accessory sets or cantina sets, they are plentiful here at Zellers Select and Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart and Zellers will have more action figures arriving weekly I was told by both toy managers, but to what waves or assortments they did not know.
